3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/28/18
In a showdown with LeBron James and the Cavs, Kemba Walker carries some serious upside on Wednesday. Who joins him among the best high-priced options on tonight's slate?

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Salary: $7,800

While Aaron Gordon has been the one putting up huge totals recently, Nikola Vucevic has had his fair share of success as well. A few blowouts have kept his numbers down, but tonight's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets is expected to remain competitive. The Orlando Magic are just 2.5-point underdogs, and as long as that line holds true, Vucevic could be in for a monster performance.

In two previous meetings with Brooklyn this season, Vucevic has averaged 46.6 DraftKings points. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise given Brooklyn's struggles against bigs this season. They've allowed more DraftKings points to opposing centers than any other team has allowed to any position.

Inserting Jarrett Allen into the starting lineup is a big reason for Brooklyn's struggles, as they've allowed 63 DraftKings points per game to the position over the past 30 days, as opposed to 59 on the year. While Allen has the length to give Vucevic some trouble on post-up attempts, he really struggles to keep up with floor-stretching bigs. Vucevic has knocked down 6 of 13 three point attempts against Brooklyn this season and should give Allen similar problems this time around. He is an enticing play in all formats and one that may go overlooked among a deep center pool.
